Shout Out:
Rain: Hey, thanks for the review. I hope I never sent you to the insane institution.

I woke up six days after my first meeting with Blink to the rain falling heavily on my window. I pulled on a warmer skirt and top and grabbed my shawl. I walked down the stairs and Mr. And Mrs. Brown was already eating. "I was just going to get you up." Said Mrs. Brown.
"Normally you're up so early, but the last couple of days you've been getting up pretty late. Is everything alright?" Asked Mr. Brown.
"Yes, I've just been sleeping more because I've been more active lately. I get up early every morning and go out for about an hour and a half and."
"Yes, why are you out so long?" Mrs. Brown asked, taking a sip of her tea.
"Oh." I said taking a bite of my food. "Imph mphse amph mboymph." I answered, taking another bite of my food.
"Do you realize how impolite that is? I pray you would never do that in front of guest or out."
With food still in my mouth I said, "Of course I wouldn't and I apoligize." I swallow my food laughing to myself. Mr. Brown is also laughing. "I should be off."
"Dear I don't want you going out today, it is pouring." Said Mrs. Brown.
"If you don't want papers that is fine, but Dr. Shuma might." I said smiling at the answer I came up with so quickly.
"I'm proud of you Jennifer." Said Dr. Brown. "You are really learning some excellent working ethics." I smiled and turned to Mrs. Brown.
"Fine." She said in defeat. "But don't stay out to long."
"Ok." I said finishing my food. I quickly headed over to Dr. Shuma's home.

"Oh dear, you are not going out today?" Said Mrs. Shuma opening the door for me. "It's pouring and if you don't want to get papers today, we would understand."
"No, Dr. Brown needs them still." She nodded and handed me a nickel.
"Don't be out to long dear." She yelled as I jumped down the steps and raced into the pouring rain. "That child should be careful or she's gonna get herself sick." She went back inside to finish what she had to do before the offices opened for business in two hours.

I arrived at the spot where I was to meet Kid Blink first for the first time. The rain must be slowing him down. People stared at me as they passed finding me nuts for just standing out in the rain leaning on a pole. A pair of wet, cool hands covered my eyes. "Guess 'ho?"
"Could it be.hmm.hold on don't tell me." I said smiling. Blink and I have become really close the last few days. "Lets see, is it man or woman?"
"Man."
"Employed or unemployed?"
"Employed."
"Snob or sweet?"
"I 'ope ya say sweet."
"So let's see your sweet, employed, and a man, hmm.what about charming and hansom."
"I say so."
"Ok, so your sweet, charming, handsome, employed, and a man. I think I know who your are."
"'eally?"
"Yep, Dylan." I said smiling evilly.
"'ho's Dylan?"
"Only the most cutest boy I've ever seen."
"'ow do ya know dis, Dylan?"
"Oh, he works at the doctor's office. He's going to be a great doctor someday." I could feel Blinks grip over my eyes loosen and I knew that was enough torture. Taking both his hands in mine, I pulled them down and turned to face him. "You know I'm kidding, right? I mean Dylan's like a brother to me. I would, could never have feeling for him like that."
"I 'ope it stays dat way."
"Hope, Blink?" I asked, hope filling my voice. I looked at him and he looked at me. Both of us were soaked to the bone, but it did not seem to bother either of us. Then Blink did something I did not expect, he leaned in and kissed me gently on the lips.
I never felt anything like it. His lips were so soft upon mine. We stayed like that for maybe thirty seconds, but it seemed like an eternity. I could feel people staring at us as they walked past. Pulling apart we had a small laugh between us. His hand touched my cheek and it felt warm and comforting. "Yeah, I 'ope."
"Excuse me, if the two of your are done kissing, I would like to buy a paper.." Said a man who had become one of our regulars.
"Sorry sir." I said. "Of course you can have a paper." Blink pulled a paper from the bag that was over his shoulder. It was to keep the papers as dry as we could.
"We apoligize if dere a little wet." Blink said.
"It is alright you two. You should get somewhere dry." He said nodding to us as he left. "You are soaked to the bone."
Blink and I looked at ourselves. "'e's 'ight. 'ere's yer papes. I've only got five more ta sell."
"Ok." I took the papers and gave him my ten cents. Blink watched me leave.
He was about to turn around and go in the opposite direction when he hollered, "Hey Jenny."
I turned around to look at him. "What?"
He ran up to me and placed his hand in mine. "Can I walk ya 'ome?"
"I would be honered." I said. We walked off together, unaware that two figures stood in the alley watching us.

"Me friend Dutchy, is comin' back tamorrow." Blink said.
"Really, I can't wait to meet him. Now you two are selling partners?"
"Yep."
"You know I haven't met any of your Newsie friends yet."
"Ya will and believe me, dere gonna love ya, just as much as I do." I stopped dead.
"You love me?"
"Yeah, I guess I do." I pulled him into a tight hug and kissed him quickly on the lips.
"I love you too." I said happily. We walked to my block in silence. "We should separate here, I don't think Dr. Brown would like me assocaiating with um."
"A street rat." Blink finished.
"Blink, I."
"I know yer different." He said. He kissed me lightly on the cheek. "I'll see ya tamorrow."
"Yeah." I turn to leave then pulled an extra nickel out of my pocket. "Blink wait." Blink turned around.
"Yeah?" I pulled the remainding papers out of the bag from around his shoulders. "Watchya doin'"
"Buying the last of your papers because I don't want to make you have to sell in the rain, considering you would have been done if you did not walk me home." I handed him the nickel and kissed him on the cheek and ran to Mr. Shuma's door.
Blinks hand touched his cheek where I had kissed him and smiled. He had been with other girls before, but he has never felt so strongly about anyone before. He swore to himself he would not do anything to screw this up.
I touched my lips thinking of the sweet feeling of kissing Blink. I never cared for anyone like this before, not even Dylan. Starting to feel cold, I hurried up the steps to Dr. Shuma's. "Thanks Jenny." Said Mrs. Shuma handing me a nickel.
"But this is to much."
"No you earned it, going out in the rain and all. Now hurry up inside before you catch a cold. By the way, why are you smiling so much?"
"No reason and have a good day." Mrs. Shuma just shook her head and went back inside. I hurried inside my door, my face still caring a smile.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?"
